Ok so it took the dealer three attempts to fix my clutch and $1400. I sat by quietly. Now my speed sensor is dead, 4 days after being replaced and I am 4 hours from the dealer that repaired it. So now I am stuck until my spring break with no speedo. I have had it. Subaru of America will be hearing about this. I expected better, this being my 3rd Subaru. I really am just plain Pissed Off.

wow, that sucks. i did a members Forester clutch last year for $800. that included the disk, pressure plate, throw out bearing and flywheel replaced. even replaced the rear separator plate.

hope it works out for you.

What dealer did you take it to to get fixed?

Clutch work was done at Roberts in Downingtown

 

Speedo at Concordeville in West Chester.

Got a letter back from Subaru. Told me that my car is out of warranty and that they could care less if I remain a customer. Fine. Ill got buy a Honda then, see how they like it then!

 

......because I havent put almost $2000 in repairs for this car in the past 8 months.

That's some sloppy work. No excuse for that.

 

Can you check the connector on the speed sensor? Might be an easy fix, might get lucky.

Geez, that sucks. I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with subaru -- cars do need new clutches from time to time, and speedos go out too -- but apparently their dealers there suck if it takes them several times to fix anything. I know there's people on this board that hate taking subaru's to non-dealer mechanics, but seriously, whats the worst that could happen. You might end up with someone incompetent to work on your car -- but it sounds like you already did.

In my letter I made the point that parts (clutches) do wear out and i get that but i shouldnt be spending so much money on additional repairs. Especially ones that affect my safety. Which both my clutch and speedo did.

 

Since I thought that the clutch repair was done by incompotent people I changed dealers to do the speedo. No difference apparently.

you wouldn't catch me dead at either dealer to be honest with you....especially Roberts.

I had a specialist in West Chester but he retired.

I got a great specialist up here near me....Mapquest Reinholds PA and see if it is a distance you are willing to drive...if so PM me for info.
